Donna,

I didn't have closing of throat or esophagus but I did have chronic queasiness. My GI doctor prescribed Carafate. What helped me most with the nausea was Ativan (the smallest possible dose...0.5 mg I think) twice a day, as soon as I awakened and one before bed. Over time, I was able to reduce it to once at night, then every few days as needed, and finally none at all. The doctor told me to eat many small meals and that did help. My nausea was always worst on an empty stomach. I participated in a GVHD study at NIH and they thought I had GVHD but weren't able to confirm definitively. I did not take any steroids or immunosuppressants.

Hope this helps.
